Manchester United is prepared to walk away from an agreement to sign Atletico Madrid right-back Kieran Trippier this summer, according to Football Insider.
What is the most recent Kieran Trippier transfer news?
Trippier has been linked with Man United for some time, with reports in January stating the club would have made a bid for him in the last transfer window if it hadn't been for a ban for betting crimes.
United was said to have followed up with a £10 million proposal earlier this month, but it now appears that their chase of the England international is coming to an end.
Man United is unwilling to match Atletico Madrid's asking price for Trippier, according to Football Insider, and are prepared to walk away from the deal unless the La Liga champions lower their expectations.
United had planned to make a new proposal for the 29-cap England international, according to the source, but was put off by the club's stance on discussions.
What is Atletico Madrid's asking price for Trippier?
According to Football Insider, United had a £10 million proposal for Trippier rejected last week, amid fresh reports that United had gotten their wires confused and believed Trippier's contract in Spain had one year left on it.
According to the source, Atletico Madrid will not accept a bid for the former Tottenham right-back that is less than £35 million, which the Manchester club considers to be an unrealistic figure.
Should United continue their search for a right-back this summer?
Despite the Red Devils' reported setback in their pursuit of Trippier, they should keep an eye out for another right-back in the summer transfer window.
Since joining United from Crystal Palace in 2019, Aaron Wan Bissaka has proven to be a reliable option and a staple in the team. He made 34 Premier League games this season, and his WhoScored rating was the second-highest of any player on the team.
At right-back, though, there is no competition for spots because Brandon Williams is the only first-team cover for the 23-year-old.
Luke Shaw, on the other hand, has improved by leaps and bounds since the Red Devils recruited Alex Telles.
With five assists this season, the United left-back was third in the team for assists in the Premier League, and he also got two WhoScored player of the match accolades. Shaw, on the other hand, had zero goal contributions in the 2019/20 league season despite only making 20 starts.
Wan Bissaka, like Shaw, will be trying to improve his game with more competition, according to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Have you made any signings since the transfer window opened?
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, a deal for Aston Villa goalkeeper Tom Heaton is all but done, as the shot-stopper has undergone a physical with United and is ready to join the Old Trafford goalkeeping ranks on a two-year contract when his current deal at Villa Park expires.
The pursuit of Jadon Sancho by Manchester United has been one of the most long-running transfer sagas in recent years.
Romano disclosed on the Here We Go Podcast that personal terms and agency fees have been agreed upon, but that the price is still being negotiated between the two teams. Dortmund wants €95 million (£81.2 million) for the 21-year-old, according to him.
